In the video, Mia was lying on a black sofa, while Serge slowly unbuttoned Mia's clothes...Her skin and breasts were gradually exposed.- Mom, the breasts.Julie didn't know what it was and screamed again as she saw her mommy.Joseph quickly took the phone from her and Julie was stunned for a moment. She blinked, tears in her eyes. With an innocent look, she asked in a pitiful tone:- Daddy, don't you love me?Why did he snatch the phone so rudely?Joseph's face turned very dark. Apparently, this had been filmed when Serge had planned to rape Mia that day.His neck and temples were tense and his blue veins stood out.Although Julie was small, she could tell if someone was in a good or bad mood. Clearly, her father was in a bad mood now.Was it because he didn't like her?She lowered her head and wiggled her fingers. A tear drop fell onto the back of her hand.She said in a hoarse voice:- I didn't mean to make you angry, Dad.Julie's small shoulders shook slightly as she sobbed.She
In the Touchard mansion.Linda tossed and turned in her bed, unable to fall asleep. She looked at her cell phone for a while, but there were no calls or messages.Finally, she couldn't take it anymore. She got up holding her phone, thinking about it. She couldn't stop herself from making a call.Her hands trembled with nervousness and excitement as she held the phone.She'd installed a surveillance camera in the room that day, even Serge didn't know.Now it was the only card she could use to threaten Joseph.If he cared about Mia, he wasn't going to let this video circulate on the Internet.Joseph stared at his phone, his finger hovering over the screen in conflict. Just as the call was about to disconnect, he picked up.- Ah, Joseph! said Linda, surprised.She thought Joseph wasn't going to answer her call.Joseph didn't answer. Linda's joy or anger couldn't influence his mood.Slowly, Linda calmed down. Holding the blanket in her hand, she squeezed and released it several times befo
She was obviously smiling, but the expressions in his eyes terrified her.Linda took a step back, away from him.For the first time, she wanted to stay away from him.Just then, the doorbell rang again, accompanied by a waiter's voice:- Anybody? I'm here to deliver some wine.Linda was inexplicably relieved when she heard it was only wine. She looked at the door and said:- My wine is here...- I've asked for it.Joseph leaned against the cabinet, holding the wine glass in his hand. He tilted his hand slowly, pouring the red liquid onto the table. As the wine dripped over the edge of the table, he frowned as he stared at it, as if the wine displeased him. He slowly looked up.- I think there's another wine that suits us. What do you think?- Suitable... Suitable wine?Linda stammered. Did he want to drink with her?Didn't he hate her?Did he now find her attractive?Holding back her inner joy, she said:- I'll go and open the door.Her steps toward the door were quick and seemed a li
When Linda woke up, she was naked and the big bed was a mess.There was no one in her sight.She sat up, wrapping her body in the blanket, and tried to remember what had happened last night. She'd used Mia's video to get Joseph here. Originally, she'd wanted to use the video to get him to spare the Touchard family. But when he'd come, before she'd had a chance to talk to him, they'd both been drinking wine.And then she'd gotten drunk.She remembered taking off her clothes herself.At that moment, only Joseph was with her in the bedroom.Had Joseph made love to her the night before?She wasn't a virgin girl, she could clearly feel what had happened to her body.She blushed, her cheeks turning red.Had Joseph really changed his mind?She was so excited she almost jumped to her feet.She was sure that last night, Joseph had made love to her.She knew Joseph a little, before he'd found out she was the woman from that night, he'd been very nice to her.If he hadn't later discovered her fa
Chloe was wearing an apron. She'd come to the kitchen to make breakfast, but when she got there, she found Mia already up and mumbling something to herself in the kitchen while making breakfast.- Oh, it's nothing.Mia told her, not daring to meet her eyes.- Where are the eggs? asked Mia.- In the fridge.Chloe opened the fridge and found that the eggs were gone. She turned around to see them placed next to the sink.- They're not there, next to you?- Are they?Mia turned to see the eggs on the counter and remembered that she'd already taken them out. She'd tried to divert the subject and had failed miserably. She smiled, embarrassed, saying:- I forgot!Chloe smiled too, as if she understood what she was hiding. However, she said nothing.She came closer and said:- Let me help you. Tell me what the kids like to eat, and I'll do it for them.- They're not squeamish.Mia beat the eggs together, preparing to make steamed eggs. She'd lived here for a few days and knew Chloe's skills.
She gave no answer and the car started off.Serge's words had planted a seed of suspicion in Mia's heart for no reason.You mustn't give your heart away like an idiot and be blind to what's before your eyes.He was clearly referring to Joseph.Joseph read her thoughts and chuckled.- What are you laughing at?She frowned.- Do you feel relaxed now?Mia blinked without answering. After a moment, she said:- No.She didn't believe him at all. She kept feeling that his words had a deeper meaning.She thought for a moment.- About this news... forget it.- Did you find the solution?Mia turned her head and looked out the window. The landscape flashed by, just like the past.She said weakly:- Yes.- Okay.She preferred to solve the problem herself without his help.Actually, this way was good too, cutting all ties with Serge.The car slowed down all of a sudden, the two of them stopped talking and the atmosphere became calm.In the car, Joseph answered Paul's call.Paul told him that Gust
Joseph glanced inside and realized that Mia was probably here too.However, Norbert was keen to find out about Joseph's private life. Did Joseph lend his car to anyone?- A guy or a woman?Norbert approached and winked at Joseph.- You're not trying to win back your ex-wife, are you? What's with the sudden change of preference?- Go fuck yourself!Joseph gave him a sidelong glance.Lucas smiled and said:- Why are you like this? Why do you always act so childish?- You're the one who's acting like a child!Norbert jumped on Lucas' back and put his arms around his neck.- Hey, have you seen his ex-wife?Lucas nodded honestly.- Yeah.Joseph had gotten married six years ago. It was actually a secret marriage and not one Joseph wanted. So Joseph hadn't introduced his wife to him. At that time, he was very busy during the period. Soon Joseph had divorced her and he hadn't had a chance to meet her.If Paul hadn't contacted him for help that day, he never would have seen her.Paul had told
Linda's face was flushed and her breath smelled strongly of wine. It was obvious that she had drunk a lot of wine.When she saw that the person she'd bumped into was Mia, she was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said:- What a coincidence.Mia didn't want to talk to her and tried to get around her, but Linda refused to let her pass.- Are you satisfied now, Mia? My brother's in jail. The man who protected you for ten years is now in jail.Mia was calm, not wanting to go into the details of the case.You reap what you sow.If Serge hadn't done this to her and Remy, he wouldn't have had to go to prison.She didn't feel happy, just depressed.- You're so happy, aren't you?Linda leaned against the doorframe and squinted at the ceiling lights.- What do you think is cruel?- I'm sorry, I don't know it very well.Mia walked sideways into the restroom.This time, Linda didn't stop her. Mia stepped out of the stall and headed for the sink to wash her hands and dry them. Linda was still
Justin was acting mysteriously:- Once you've seen the person, you'll know who she is. Now eat your lunch.- So when can she come back? asked Mia.She was slightly emotional, but also full of questions.- Do I know this person?- I see you're usually quite calm and collected, why are you so anxious now?The old man's tone was serious.- Be patient, said Justin, rising to his feet. Eat a little more.Mia shook her head, she was too anxious. The fact that he was telling her all this today meant he was ready to tell her everything she wanted to know.Now all she had to do was wait patiently for his sister to arrive, and maybe the fog and confusion surrounding her would lift.Compared to the calm of the courtyard, the garden was bustling with activity.Since Mia wanted to stay, Raphaël didn't leave either. He hadn't brought many people with him, only his assistant Cyril. Compared to the many people surrounding Joseph, he seemed to be weaker.The stream was trickling, the surface of the wa
- You are...- Mr Justin, we're here to learn how taffeta is made.Raphaël spoke first, explaining the purpose of their visit.Justin looked at the people standing at the entrance. He squinted his eyes, one could see his wrinkles. His eyes were deep, he entered the house.- Let's go in.The living room of the wooden house was small, it couldn't accommodate all the people. The security guards didn't enter as they stood outside.Even then, the house was crowded after they entered.The design of the house was simple, it was an antique style, there were eight chairs in the living room. A few drawings hung on the wall on both sides. They didn't match each other and looked messy. A table was placed in the middle. Justin sat down by it.He picked up a cigarette and lit it,- Who wants to learn from me?Mia held Remy's hand and stepped forward, saying sincerely:- I want to learn from you how to make taffeta. If you are willing to do so, be the master of my company. The pay is up to you.He s
- Why do you think Sylvie came with me? Because we are in love and I brought her here. I think today, the sun is shining and the weather is glorious, it is indeed a good day, so I choose to tell you that Sylvie and I are in love today, said Norbert with a lot of seriousness and energy.Mia didn't say anything. As the saying goes, everything can be ruined, except marriage. So she just told Norbert:- Since you've decided, forget what happened before and treat Sylvie well.Sylvie immediately felt embarrassed and lowered her head.- Mia, I... didn't deliberately hide this from you...- Okay, it's getting late, let's eat first.She would not blame Sylvie; after all, she was an adult and should have known what she was doing. The only thing that concerned her was that Norbert might hurt her.As they had not known each other for long, Norbert was so fickle that Sylvie could get hurt by him.Sylvie tapped Norbert's hand and went to Mia, saying,- Mia.Mia put her arms around Sylvie's shoulder
Norbert was tense, because Sylvie was Mia's friend. How would he explain this?- Stop crying, please.Norbert approached her to comfort her, but as soon as his hand touched Sylvie's shoulder, she pushed him away and cried out,- Get away from me! I don't want to see you anymore!She couldn't help shivering as she recalled what had happened the night before.Norbert's face changed, but he did not show his displeasure. After all, as a man, he had not suffered any loss in this matter.Not to mention that it was not the first time he had made love with a woman, but for Sylvie, it was the first time she had slept with a man.In a delirious state, she had lost the most valuable thing as a woman. So, he did not get angry even when she raised her voice.- Mia is outside and just knocked on the door.Norbert looked at her intently. He hoped she could calm down and resolve the most urgent problem first.Sylvie's tears suddenly stopped. She raised her reddened eyes.- So?Oh, no. It was so shame
In hindsight, Sylvie realized that Norbert was deliberately making Mia drink, but as to why he was forcing her to do so, she didn't understand.- It's not proper for you to do that.Sylvie glanced at Norbert.- As a man, how can you deliberately make a woman drink? It's a terrible thing. Fortunately, Mia is intelligent because she can see through your trick in the blink of an eye.Norbert was now embarrassed. Wasn't he just helping his friend?This woman daringly accused him.He pulled the chair and sat next to Sylvie, saying:- What do you know? Huh, you dare to accuse me?He deliberately sat close to her, and when he spoke, the alcoholic breath overwhelmed her. She frowned.- Get out!- Where are you going? It's just a small place.Norbert approached her and his mouth was even closer to Sylvie's face.Lucas shook his head. It was obvious that Norbert was flirting with her. He didn't want to be the fifth wheel, so he discreetly got up and left the room.Seeing the others leaving, Syl
Norbert and Sylvie were sitting at the window seat. There were a few empty cups on the table and it seemed like they had been sitting there for a long time.Norbert looked exhausted. When he saw them come in, he lunged at them without caring about his image.- You're finally back. We've been waiting for you for half a day.Lucas pushed him away with disgust.- Are you lost? What took you so long?Norbert had said he had been gone for a long time and that he should have arrived early.While talking, Lucas glanced at Sylvie walking towards Mia. Why did Norbert bring her here too? What has this guy done to her?Norbert was upset, he didn't notice Lucas's strange look. When he came, he had been caught by his grandmother and she kept asking him when he wanted to get married, otherwise she wouldn't have let him out.He lied and said he was getting married at the end of the year, and he managed to get out only after saying that.So he was delayed.The main problem was that he didn't even hav
Mia was about to explain the situation when the saleswoman interrupted:- Odile, don't listen to her. She's the one who brought these people here and who's putting this place in chaos. You'd better find someone and stop them all.Mia frowned.Joseph brought Julie over to Mia:- Go wait for me in the car.He was going to handle these things. As much as he wanted to train his son in courage, he didn't want his daughter exposed to this. Girls have to be protected in this case.Mia carried her daughter in her arms. She was about to leave when Odile, the saleswoman's cousin, stopped her:- We're embarrassed about the case because of you. How will things work out if you leave?Joseph raised his head, giving her a murderous look.- Talk with me, he said indifferently.His deep voice and indifference dominated, and when Odile met Joseph's eyes, she felt shy. He looked even more imposing than Raphaël. At the sight of his handsome face, she felt dizzy.He gave an impression of mysterious oppres
Joseph felt like the saddest man in the world. He hugged his wife, but he couldn't make love to her.Her hair brushed his face and her scent of shampoo wafted through the air, he kissed the back of her neck.Half of Mia's face was buried in the pillow. Looking at her sleeping son and daughter, she touched their cheeks.At the thought of the scene from her first time with Joseph. She wasn't feeling well, but morose.- Joseph, how many women have you slept with?She didn't know why, but thinking he'd made love to other women made her feel sad.This was the first man in her life.Although she tried not to think about it, it was still difficult.It's true that she's sentimental.She's always had a special affection for this man.This question made Joseph stop kissing her.- Why are you asking all of a sudden? he said, his voice even a little hoarse.Mia buried her face deeper into the pillow:- Nothing, I'd just like to know. Well. I'm sleepy. Let's sleep first.However, Joseph didn't fee
- I never pursued a woman. Anyway, do you still need to?Joseph already had a wife and children.Pursue a woman?Who?Lucas opened his eyes wide. - Are you...But Lucas didn't think Joseph was that kind of playboy. He'd been anxious when Mia had gotten lost, he must have loved her a lot.Joseph frowned, remembering Mia's piercing eyesight. He really wanted to please her.Lucas glanced at him and asked cautiously:- Doesn't Mia want to be with you?Joseph returned a cold look.Even if Mia didn't want to be with him, Joseph couldn't tell him, could he?Lucas spoke. - You should ask Norbert how to please a woman.Ding!Just then, the elevator returned to its original position. The elevator door opened.In the lobby, Mia didn't go into the VIP room, she stayed there and talked with Raphaël. Joseph stayed away from them, he couldn't hear what they were talking about. His face changed when he saw them talking.He walked forward. Lucas slowed his pace and kept his distance.Joseph looked u
